Kirkwood, CA - As the wind whistled over the razor-sharp rock spires of the Cirque at California's Kirkwood ski area, skiers readied their gear and nerves for the fifth stop of the Subaru Freeskiing World Tour. This is one of the most respected steep skiing contests in the world and the venue at Kirkwood Mountain Resort has become notorious due to its steep, technical slopes and because it is permanently closed to the public. This past weekend marked the 13th consecutive year of the competition coming to Kirkwood and it was a true spectacle from which Mad River Glen, Vt.'s Dylan Crossman and Janina Kuzma of New Zealand emerged victorious.

Broomfield, CO - Fiscal 2010 second quarter results released today by Colorado-based ski and snowboard resort operator Vail Resorts revealed a drop of nearly 33% year over year, driven largely by Real Estate segment net revenue that trickled to $0.9 million for the three months ended January 31, 2010, compared to $89.2 million in the same period in the prior year. Despite this drop, the company announced that they will move forward with plans for resort capital improvements in 2010 that will include a new high speed detachable chairlift in Vail Mountain's famed Back Bowls.
